No, it does not matter at all. The only time you really need to turn your tyres is when parking on a hill.
On the hill you should point your wheels away from the curb. This is useful. In case your vehicle rolls backwards, your tyre will hit the curb. Your vehicle will not slip to descend in case of such any emergency.
To learn these and more check out our Defensive and Offroad Driver Training Programme which equips drivers with not just the knowledge on how to drive but what to do when the unexpected happens.

Toptech Transport and Logistics in collaboration with the World Bank is organizing a one-week training on ‘Advanced driving and soft skill training’ for some 135 World Bank drivers across Africa.
The training according to the Executive Director of Toptech Mr. Cecil Garbrah, is in accordance with the policy of the World Bank to keep its workers knowledgeable with technology.
“It is really important that as a policy of the World Bank the drivers must be trained periodically so that they will save lives and properties for the bank and also to be ambassadors of the bank” he said
Mr. Garbrah added that the training comes in handy since there have been calls from stakeholders for drivers to resort to defensive driving in order to reduce road accidents.
“This training will help these drivers not only represent the World Bank in their various countries but also assist Africa in reducing the carnage on our roads” he noted.
According to him, driving is not only about the ability to move and operate a vehicle rather it requires a lot of skills.
“ If you’re driving a 4*4 you need the skill to manipulate the gears in case of any emergency and I am sorry to say, the Ghanaian driver cannot do this and I pray Corporate Ghana will take this up so that they’ll employ very good drivers and train them periodically” he said.
He said, participants will be taken through rigorous training throughout the one-week course.
Global technology giant, Yandex, launched its taxi service Yango onto the Ghanaian market. The technological ride-hailing App by one of Europe’s biggest technology companies, Yandex, operates in over 300 cities across 15 countries in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
Yango rides ordered with the app in Accra interestingly starts from GH¢2. Mr Musheg Sahakian, the Global Expansion Director, Yango, said Yango had its own mapping and navigation system, which minimizes driver pick-up time and arrival at destinations thereby decreasing the net cost of ride dramatically.
He said the company partners with local transport service in the country to offer quality service to customers at an affordable prize. Mr Sahakian said a key benefit that stands out in Yango’s service was that, drivers may not have to pay any commission at the start.
On his part, the Executive Director of Toptech Transport and Logistics, Mr. Cecil Ebow Garbrah, welcomed the group and adviced them to be efficient in their business and apply a continuous driver training strategy to be ahead of competition.
He adviced them to keep the quality as Ghanaians shall only patronize the taxis if only they will offer good services and competitive pricing.
A group of 80 professionals who decided to go on an adventure from France to Africa, by road, have arrived in Accra six weeks after setting off from the European country.
The group, made up of Doctors, Engineers, Dentists, Lawyers, etc., have travelled through eight countries so far. With the purpose of exploring Africa, they are currently in Accra, Ghana after making various stops in Morrocco, Mauritania, Senegal, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Cote D’Ivoire.
With assistance from TopTech Ghana, Road Safety, Transport, and Logistics Management Company, the team entered Ghana from Bole in the Northern Region and went through the Mole National Park where they spent two days – using their cars for accommodation.
From Mole, they made a stop at the Boabeng Fiema Monkey Sanctuary where they spent another two days at the Sanctuary. The journey continued to Cape Coast in Central Region.
There, they visited the Cape Coast Castle, Kankum National Park and then made their way to Accra, the capital city.
TopTech’s responsibility was to help them with transport and logistics as well as a GPS system to navigate their way around the country.
In an interaction with Executive Director of TopTech Ghana, Cecil Ekow Garbrah, “They needed a transport and logistics company to pave way for them. Our team had to make sure that the roads are okay for them. They are using 50% untarred road and TopTech had to do an advance in terms of using our GPS system to go round all the places they wanted to visit.”

He added, “They all have the GPS and we have given them the coordinates and they are driving on their own without any help but with the help of the GPS. And we have arranged with the Ghana Police to provide security at vantage points.”
Meanwhile, the group leaves tomorrow from Accra and will visit Volta Lake, Wli Water Falls, and Mountain Afadjato and then continue to end of Ghana boarder and enter Togo and then all the vehicles will be enplaned back to France.
They still have two more countries before their expedition ends: Benin and Togo where they finally board an airplane to their various home countries.
Some participants speaking to Ghanaweb, said the travel was mainly for tourism, exploring the landscape of the African continent, and to have a personal experience with the people through their culture and various interactions.
